I am the definate hophead... I've heard alot about Founders, as in my previous post, I just can't find it anywhere... If you are coming up for the Challenge next year we might be able to work something out if you can find it.

I have a friend here in CLT that used to live in Montana and still has friends there. He had a 12 of Moose Drool shipped to him just a couple weeks ago. Thus, I got my first sample. Tasty stuff indeed.

Erm, except that I'm pretty sure it was a Brown, not a Pale Ale. Indeed, a quick googling confirms this.

Moose Drool is a pretty nice brown ale from Montana. I know they used to be disc golf friendly, too...I have a Moose Drool mini that James Ledyard (disc golfer from Montana) gave me back in 1999 at Am Worlds.

I'm really impressed with all of the Christmas offerings I've had this year, including Rogue's Santa's Private Reserve, Anchor Christmas, Boulevard Nutcracker, and Sierra's Celebration Ale. Also, really impressed with the complexities in O'Dell's Isolation Ale.
